Draining Water Pipes in House

[WandaCC]

My friend is leaving on a 2 month trip and he ask me, what needs to be done for the water in the house?

My suggestion was for him to turn off the water to the house and open the faucets to drain the pipes. But then he ask me "if I drain the water out of the pipes, won't that also drain the water out of my water heaters?"

I did not know how to answer him. I know we have a 2cooler who is a plumber, perhaps he can provide the answer. Thanks

I had a similar issue last winter and ended up using a compressor to blow out the lines after shutting off the main. Made a big difference. Also found some really straightforward advice on pm247.co.uk, especially for figuring out problem areas like outdoor faucets and low spots in the system where water sits. Their tips saved me from another freeze-up.
